My husband is going through withdrawals from drug addiction and has decided in a frenzy of emotion to divorce me. We've only been married 4months and share a house we rent. I'm currently not working and have no money or a vehicle. I moved to his town and know no one. He is telling me I must move out of the house tomorrow as he will be leaving also. I have no where to go and no way to get out. Also, no way to pay the bills. What are my options? What can he legally do?

First thing I would do is find a job... because you are going to need money in the short term... and only after 4 months don't expect any alimony or much of one in any case even after the divorce.

And your own best interests at this time would be by preparing to have to have to support yourself... then anything you get you can put in the bank.

Might not be what you want to hear... but your best interests in the short term at least are taking the bull by the horns.

Also, what country and what state do you reside currently. Any specific information would require knowing that as rights and laws vary from state to state.

We will need more information about your living situation. Do you own or rent your home? Do you have a lease? Is your name on it? Have you been legally evicted?

You do not have to move if you are legally occupying your residence until and unless you are properly and legally evicted.

As for the divorce, it sounds like the marriage was a mistake if your husband is drug addicted, even if he's recovering from the addiction. Someone who is struggling with addiction should not make a decision to get married.

It sounds like you need some support. Do you have family you can go to? You do need a job as well. Don't worry about the details of the divorce - figure out where and how you are going to live first. Unless you've been evicted, I don't see why you have to move tomorrow.
My only concern would be if he's running from someone - dealers he owes money to? Law enforcement? Don't stay if it's dangerous but don't base your decisions on a drug-addicted mind in withdrawal, either.
